The premise, as has been noted in four previous, generous reviews and care of IMDB...
"A group of terrorists posing as plumbers set up base at a school for the blind. The students remain blissfully unaware, while the terrorists plan the assassination of a politician who will soon be passing the school on a parade route. Only one student, Sally, suspects that the men upstairs may be dangerous..."
I can not praise this entry enough. In an anthology that boasts "Coffin for the Bride" of series 3 to be the most memorable, series 1 "The Eyes Have It" is no pushover, just like its group of protagonists. "Eyes" tells an intelligent story with no condescension. The students are blind, but are never regulated to being hapless victims because of it. They are, in creation, a surrogate family lovingly sharing each others quirks and idiosyncrasies until the family unit is confronted with a series obvious threats. Those threats are represented in the a triage of strong acting talent, veteran British actors previous reviews have lent credence to....
All in all, it is a story of heroes, benefiting from not being so self-aware that fail to champion what is right no matter what the obstruction.
Kudos to Sinéad Cusack as "Sally", and Alun Armstrong as "Mike", who just happen to captivate me despite an already strong group of players.
